Carter stock fuel pump to Edelbrock carb

When you say metal line adapter are you talking the edelbrock 8123 hose kit and edelbrock 8134 single feed fuel line? These are really nice. Then I would just need an adapter at my pump so it would be a 3/8th NPT connection for that hose. I've actually already bought these two edelbrock items, was just looking at other more stock ways to do it.

Where are you placing the fuel filter? Will it be tucked underneath the alternator (after the fuel pump) or are you going to place it up near the intake manifold?
